CLOUDS ~ Shapeshifting

I simply love working with this card deck and find the messages are always spot on.

Clouds | Shapeshifting

Who you are at your core never changes. Your essence never changes, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay the same.

You can play with different aspects of your essence.

Today, explore a different part of yourself – one you haven’t looked at in a while. It might mean you end up singing or dancing or ice skating or doing an activity you love but haven’t done in forever. Allow yourself to experience all of you not just a fraction.

When you experiment with variations of self-expression that are not how you ordinarily present yourself, others will react to you, depending on the degree in which your persona contrasts with the one they are most familiar with. Be like the clouds as you try out different forms, stretching your limits at times, willing to move and adjust as necessary.

Lift your hear up, share your shoulders, and stand tall so your chest and heart open to the world, just note how that feels. You may be a bit vulnerable at first, but stick with it. Then let your shoulders fall forward slightly, pull your chest inward and inch or so and let your head drop just a little; observe how this feels.

Experiment with contracting your aura (energy field) then expand it as far as you comfortably can. By this kind of shapeshifiting, you can consciously choose your expression into the world.

Just remember who YOU are at the core.

Much Love today, Cynthia

p.s. When you try this exercise, I’d love to hear how it feels for you!

WINTER SOLSTICE

REFLECTION – Your message for this week is from Steven Farmers’s Earth Magic Card Deck – they are simply amazing!

I believe this card showed itself today, as many of us have not honoured ourselves in this time of reflection, patience and stillness, so it’s a reminder that IT IS TIME to do so.

Meditation, Reiki, Salt bathing, just breathe are some simple ways you can do this today

Winter Solstice/Reflection –

This beautiful image portrays simple yet powerful representation of the winter solstice. We see a Clea reflection of the snowy woods on the frozen waters of the lake. The blue tint drapes the scene with an even sense of quiet and solace, inviting us to walk very softly lest we disturb the intense yet gentle grace of this scene.

The reflection of the tress on the frozen lake reminds you that this is a time for us to go inside – to both our PHYSICAL and INTERNAL world- and there contemplate the season that has passed, the season that is, and the seasons yet to come.

Card Meaning – Review the past year and ask yourself what the most important lessons you have had to learn are, what have you accomplished , and what dreams and visions you want to manifest in 2018?

What was a relatively smooth ride?

What was a challenging series of events?

Honour whatever has happened with gratitude and forgiveness, then let it go. Allow yourself some solitude so you can spend some quiet, slow reflection time.

Once you feel complete, reflect on your present life, focusing on what you are grateful for and consider what is to come – the possibilities and potential that exists right before you. Notice how you feel in your body. Patience and stillness is call for, just as the Earth cycles have their own pace, so does this cycle.

Wow, so on this amazing Super Full Moon in December and our last Full Moon for 2017 your card today is:

Aphrodite

APHRODITE – Inner Goddess

Card Deck: Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue

“Awaken the goddess within you through dance, self-care, and appreciating your divinity.”

Your message today from Aphrodite: “Allow your inner feminine wisdom and dynamic beauty to rise to the surface. Cherish its power and meaningfulness. You have that inner femininity that nurtures you and guides you with it’s intuitive principles.

Now is the time to become aware of, take excellent care of, and celebrate your magnificence!”

Balance your male and female energies

Take steps to heal your sexuality (Sacral Chakra)

Enjoy your feminine side

Dance

Be receptive

Allow your softer side to show

Today, be kind to yourself too…the Super Full Moon is a time for reflections, intentions to release what no longer serves you.

Charge your “battery” daily by getting out into the sunshine when you can, or in the northern hemisphere a blue light can be beneficial. Hydrate! Drink your 8 glasses of water. Get grounded – get outside, hug a tree or meditate – I can’t stress how important this is. JUST BREATHE – nice deep inhales and exhales will lower your stress and anxiety levels very quickly

Seek out your “tribe”, your community. Be in partnership with those who charge your “battery” rather than drain it.

Choose to live in high vibration by being in Gratitude, daily

Make high vibrational food choices based on the saying “Eat to live”, not live to eat

Extract out the tough stuff and take a look at what you learned from it.

Why Is Having a Daily Ritual So Important?

RITUAL (RIT-U-AL): AN ACT OR SERIES OF ACTS REGULARLY

REPEATED IN A SET PRECISE MANNER; A CEREMONIAL ACT OR ACTION

Do you have any daily rituals? When you wake up in the morning do you immediately start rushing through your day or do you take the time to nurture and spoil yourself somehow, even if it’s just for 5 or 10 minutes?

The way we start our mornings sets the course for the way our whole day will unfold. If we start our day with a sense of urgency, rushing and stressing about all the things that we have to get done, our entire day will probably be a very stressful one.

RITUAL VS. ROUTINE

The difference between a ritual and a routine is that with a ritual, we are fully present and aware of what we are doing. We are focused and mindful about it. We’re not just doing it because we have to. Routines you can do on autopilot. Rituals are intentional. For instance, brushing my teeth is a routine for me. I do it (twice) every day without thinking about it much. But I can totally see how it could be a ritual for someone else if it filled that need for them.

What my daily ritual looks like and how i get through the day….

This is sacred ground. No one messes with my morning ritual. Really.

The thing is that you can do them anywhere, even when you’re not at home.

My morning cup of Apple Cider Vinegar with lemons and honey. If it’s nice out, I like to sit on the deck in the morning sun with my journal.

I love journaling in the morning, it really sets my intentions for the day. I can share anything I need or wish to along with my daily card reading for daily guidance.

YOGA….I hit the mat at least 5 times a week

Of course, I shower and get my physical body ready for the day, then get to work…I’m blessed to be a “Boss Babe”, so I set my own hours, but many are spent preparing for classes and workshops at The Soul Center in Red Deer, creating sacred tools and more.

I need to move to keep the body limber, so a 30 minute walk 4 or 5 times a week is so important to me – I do this after lunchtime.

My self-healing with Reiki, meditation and prayerwork, I keep for evening, just before bedtime. It divinely seals my day with self-healing, giving gratitude for my abundance and blessings for this day.

I have many more that just come naturally like blessing my food, getting outside barefoot on the grass, sitting under a tree or hugging one….simple small things that make my life full and amazing.

Something else that has recently started being a daily ritual is prepping my meals. I “fell” out of cooking for many years and have really come back to enjoying preparing myself clean, healthy, ketogenic foods which really fuel my body, mind and spirit.

HYDRATION….is key! When we’re dehydrated, our brain can’t work at its usual efficiency, and as a result, we can begin to feel fatigued and lose much of our energy (among other things).

What could your daily ritual look like?

Morning Coffee

Be Grateful

Be loving toward yourself and others

Moving your body

Eating healthy

Mindfullness

Journal –ask “What good can I do today”, or at the end of the day ask “What Good Did I Do Today?”

WHAT CAN YOU ADD???

I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas on what simple steps you can bring into your day today!

Thank you for being here with me, if you’ve been here for a while or are new to
Essential Energy Healing….I welcome you!

Hiya Gorgeous!!!

Like many of you, I have been going through lots of transformational changes that sometimes are very challenging, but once we have come through, there is a deep sense of gratitude for the lessons and healing and we feel so much lighter and clearer.

In fact, I have been feeling so amazing this past six months, I want to share something with you today! I can’t help it….Little did I know how my life would change so much in 3 months!

If you would have told me 3 months ago how amazing I would be feeling today, I would have told you, not very likely.

My life has drastically changed. I. HAVE. MY. LIFE. BACK.

I know so many who struggle with auto-immune issues, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic exhaustion, inflammation and pain, just like myself

As you may or may not know, 6 years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus – a chronic autoimmune dis-ease and have struggled with exhaustion-sleeping all the time and having to sleep during the day, severe infections, severe inflammation, chronic pain, mild depression, anxiety and just well, like shit. Not my old self in any way. I struggled with many long dark periods but I’m pretty stubborn as some of you know and am fighting to get back to wellness again.

Then, 4 years ago, more problems with food intolerances, food allergies and more, so 2 years ago I cut out all the wheat in my diet and started a pretty clean eating way of life for me…..or so I thought.

Still problems with my stomach, more intolerances and allergies so I did a full 40 day elimination food reset this winter, which was once of the best things I could have ever done.

Although I did the full elimination food re-set and tried to re-introduce certain foods, they just don’t sit well with me, my energy and how I feel. I was feeling pretty good overall, but still struggling to have the energy I wanted every day, I still had to lay down for a rest every day. Not exactly top notch yet, but certainly moving forward. I’ve been on an Autoimmune Paleo Diet for about 3 months now and have noticed huge changes in the energy….but still not where I wanted to be yet, so I switched over to a Ketogenic way of eating, and I again, noticed some big big changes thinking…..Oooh, nice, my body like this way of eating. YES. EUREKA!!!

With me being in the “healing” business, so many people have approached me with “goods” that they thought would help and I know it was all offered from the hearts of those who offered.

I’m pretty cautious and hesitant to try any new products. I stay with what I know works. I tried lots of them and either they had no effect at all, or overstimulated my already overstimulated immune system, then I would crash again.

4 months ago, a good friend I had not seen in a while invited me out to lunch.

I’m like, well I don’t know what the hell she’s doing, but she looked fantastic. At that time she told me she was trying a product but wasn’t on it long enough yet to share what she was doing, so after another month we met again and the changes I saw in her were just incredible! Her eyes were clear, her skin was glowing….I had to know what she was up to and she offered a few sample packets of the product.

Immediately I noticed I had a really gentle and subtle shift in my energy. Hmmm…I was thinking oh yah, right – it’s probably overstimulating my system again so I did a ton of research, as I always do on any product I’m taking. And of course I did some self-testing and found that the information I was reading made good sense in how energy is made in our body.

Within the 1st week, I was up and about with good, steady energy all day, no naps needed.

After the first month, I was out for longer nature walks, getting out of the house every day to do something, see someone – something that was not “normal” any longer for me and I’ll tell you, I was pretty excited.

What she DIDN’T tell me was:

I would have no more chronic exhaustion and have to take daily naps

How much better I would be sleeping (all night even) & waking up feeling good

I would feel like a new person – Happy Dance

I would get my life back – YES I do

How amazing my energy would be

No more mental fog and memory problems

So much focus

My anxiety and mild depression is almost gone (YES)

I would have the energy and want to offer 1 on 1 session work again after a 2 year hiatus

I would participate in events and gatherings that I would not have normally participated in 2 or 3 months ago due to no energy, not wanting to drive

Now, that happy, confident person that people see, matches how I feel on the inside, now. It is mind blowing that I didn’t even realize this until a week ago when I was chatting with a friend of mine and she said “Wow, you look so great – I have not seen you look so good in years!”

A lot of people start this journey for weight loss. Me, I wanted my life back and I’ve got it. If I’m losing a few pounds in the meanwhile, I’m good with that too.

If you…..

Struggle to get out of bed in the morning

Rely on caffeine, muffins and sheer adrenaline to get through the day.

If your clothes dont fit, you’re grumpy and lumpy and barely recognize your tired-ass self in the mirror every morning…..

Have fast & sustained energy so you are productive at work, crossing off things on your list while feeling balanced and awake.

Reduce Brain Fog, Increase awareness and finish the afternoon stron

Get through your day with no energy slumps or distracting cravings.

After work you still have plenty of energy to devote to your family and friends, and your relationships are peaceful and fun because it is easy to be patient, kind and loving when you have enough energy.

At the end of the night, you wind down gently, so that when you lay your head down, you feel relaxed, grateful and loved.

You fall asleep effortlessly and enjoy deep restful sleep, so you can be at your best tomorrow, ever!

Here are my New Moon Intentions!!!

I Cynthia Sebry, am a beautiful, inspiring, passionate, sassy, fearless, powerful female, mother, wife, warrior goddess and reiki teacher that changes lives, kicks booty, conquers what life throws at me and I help others to find there sparkle again while showing off my own. I freaking rock and I Pruvit every single day!!!

New Moon is Thursday, May 25, at 1:44 PM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT).

You can experience this new moon either from a place of despair and suffering over loss, confusion or chaos in your life, or you can be in deep gratitude for the experiences that you have had and the lessons learned. The impermanence of life should be honored and the nostalgia of times past celebrated.

This could be an emotional moon with a sense of wanting some space to be alone. However, community is important as well and it is advised that you get support to be in a space of beauty, love and wonder instead of dark despair. Even though a new moon is a time for going within and resetting priorities and intentions, this moon does have an element of reaching out for community support.

There is an aspect of this new moon that invites us to forgive whatever you think is wrong or has been wrong so that you can move on with your deepest desires. If you are still chewing on parts the past with resentment, guilt, shame or anger, this is a good time to let it go.

MOON BATHING RITUAL

Did you know that at the New Moon, the body’s ability to detoxify is at its peak? Bathing at the New Moon has an effect that would be similar to a 3 day detox! It will adjust and decontaminate the body and support the removal of toxic build up, whether it’s environmental, physioloical or emotional!

Celtic Moon Gathering, Friday, June 9th at Windhorse Retreat, Rimbey Alberta from 7:00pm until Moontime. This is a yearly gathering and Windhorse Retreat is an amazing location, just west of Rimbeyhttps://www.facebook.com/events/702004563299433/

Cynthia has been the “Soul” owner of Essential Energy Healing here in Lacombe for the past 10 years

Why do I do what I do?

I love to serve women who are ready to discover greater self- awareness, a deeper spiritual connection, emotional healing, authentic creative expression and to live a meaningful and passionate life as they age with grace, wisdom and vibrancy.

My practice is grounded in the pursuit of balance between mind, body, and soul, as I fully believe in the power of self-healing.

I work with women who are ready to commit to doing the sometimes difficult, always rewarding work of creating the life they desire. Whether it’s navigating transition (divorce; career change; getting older); personal development (including emotional, mental, and spiritual growth); and stress management, I will whole heartedly walk with you every step of the way until you have achieved that which you desire.

The reason why I do what I do is that I come from a place of transition myself… high anxiety,anger, and two Auto-Immune di-eases (Lupus and Celiac). I learned that you had to work hard for everything, that life was a struggle and that you had to earn your worth at every turn. But that it not Truth! Life does not have to be a daily struggle and through balancing the mind, body and soul with self-healing, self-care and knowledge you can stand in your power!

Sending you love and light

Breathe…Be Healthy, Be Happy…

Cynthia

MONDAY’S MESSAGE

Keep yourself focused on the outcome, goal, or result that you are aiming for right now. This card has come to you because you may be faltering or questioning yourself. Just let go of your doubts and fears. Your life and your goals are right on target. Keep your intentions clear, stay grounded in your heart and follow whatever intuitive nudging you may feel.

Spirit is working with you on an energetic level to help you bring your dreams to fruition.

If you read last week’s card message, from Goddess AINE -Leap of Faith. “Take a risk, and put your hearts’ true desire into action!” Then this weeks card speaks strongly to keep focused on what that leap of faith was last week.

We are 2 days away from the next full moon, so it’s a wonderful time to let go of any doubts and fears !

MONDAY’S MESSAGE

Message from Aine: “Procrastinating about your dreams won’t make them go away. Neither will it make the happen. Indecision is the death of the soul’s burning passion to improve, grow, and learn. Don’t worry about making a wrong decision. Instead, worry about making no decision at all!!! Then take time to pray, meditate, investigate, research, go on a nature walk…and make your decision.

“Once made, the universal energies will immediately support your decision, and doors will successively open as if by magic. The magic, you see is that you’ve set your mind to accomplish something. And this intention is what sets you on your magical journey. Trust that the universe will support you in all ways. Trust your intention is clear and right for you. And then take a leap of faith and jump fully and squarely into the midst of putting your dreams into action. Don’t hesitate or delay a moment longer!

This message speaks strongly to something I’ve been wishing to share about my own healing journey , although this card today was specifically intended for YOU, it speaks to everyone, loud and clear about stepping outside our comfort zones. Take that risk. What have you got to loose? Really. The only way we grow is to step outside of our comfort zone!

I invite you to leave a reply as to how this card speaks to you today on my blog. Where have you been procrastinating? What have you been “putting off”.

RECLAIM YOUR WARRIOR GODDESS
Interactive Workshop

The ART of Reclaiming Your Warrior Goddess SASS –Weekend Workshop – Next Workshop will be in the Fall of 2017 ~ please sign up for our Newsletter to stay in the loop for dates.

If you are interested in hosting a Warrior Goddess Weekend Workshop in the Central Alberta area, please contact cynthia@essentialenergyhealing.ca to set up this amazing 2 Day Workshop!

Sometimes begins with a small whisper; the voice in the back of your mind nagging you to make a change. But then you are faced with the what? Or how? Or is it too late? For others, the call to great change is a loud blaring siren, a take-no-prisoners upheaval that shatters everything they thought they once knew.

The whisper is starting to be heard, the deep wisdom awakening from slumber; the longing in our heart’s and the sacred medicine that we are yearning to bring into being is rising.

Do you hear it?
Are you called to awaken to your own divine Warrior Goddess path?
Have you felt the pull in your own world to move in the direction of your medicine?
Are you ready to live your purpose?
Do you feel the call to make a change in your life?
Are you ready to put an end to self-limiting thoughts, beliefs and patterns?

It is then time to say YES to you. Your LIFE…..Welcome Home!

If you don’t love and honor yourself with every fiber of your being, if you struggle with owning your power and passion, if you could use more joyful play and simple presence in your life, then it is time for an inner revolution. It is time to claim your Warrior Goddess energy. ~ HeatherAsh Amara

As women we are searching for a new freedom, the freedom from self-judgment, comparison, and struggle. The freedom from trying to take care of everyone else and forgetting ourselves in the process. The freedom to be the women we are meant to be.

Imagine giving yourself this freedom: to be you, 100%, and to love all of you. Yes, you can learn to love and accept all of you.

Join me in this 2 Day Interactive hands on Workshop where together we will create a new foundation for healing, power, and transformation.

In this interactive series you will learn how to:

Commit to yourself with compassion and humor
Unwind old agreements and beliefs that no longer serve you
Find your authentic expression
Walk with joy on your path of transformation, even when it is challenging

This is an interactive workshop, with follow-up exercises and full support after the class

“I loved being able to connect with women who had been through so much and were willing to open up about themselves so that I felt I could open up to them. Cynthia created an energy that kept us going and on track so we couldn’t “run away” when things got real. The homework made it really sink in, its one thing to take a course for a couple hours, but to have to continue the work at home with all your distractions and really dig in deep and then continue with it the following class makes all the difference to me.” ~ Ayla

“The Warrior Goddess Reclaim Workshop is a valuable learning and growth opportunity for women to give to themselves – your Warrior Goddess needs and deserves this time for her. It’s an empowering mix of meditation, self-reflection, group discussion and movement that will touch your heart and shift your mind towards change. The full impact will unfold in the weeks, months and even years after the actual workshop. Thank you, Cynthia, for this gift!” Sandy

“The guidance of Cynthia and the fellowship of the group resonated with me. There was much collective wisdom and the group format with Cynthia’s encouragement allowed the wisdom to emerge. Cynthia gently challenged us to test our assumptions and explore other ways of looking at our lives and honouring ourselves.”
